Ok this one is persistent. Lets try a system restore.

Open task manager > File Menu > New Task Run then type in the following:

%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

It will open the system restore dialog box. Choose the third to the last restore point from today.

Tell me how it goes.

Ok, is that third to the last restore point still from today or do you mean it has to be from 3 days ago?

The third from the last.

Ok, I'll log out...

Hi from the healthy one,

When I type that in the New Task Run box, a message with a big red cross pops up saying
"Windows could not find the file "C:\Windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe"
Make sure it is spelled correctly and try again.

[Salagubang]

Try this one:

%systemroot%\system32\rstrui.exe

[thedeadlystoat]

Yes that worked.

But there are only 2 restore points:

03/03/2011 2:49 a.m. Install: OTL Restore Point
02/03/2011 10:12 p.m. Install: ComboFix created restore point

I am 14 hours behind you.
Is is it normal that there are only two and do I restore to the Combofix one?

[Salagubang]

Yes, we use the combofix restore point. Back to the past. What time is it there?

[thedeadlystoat]

3:52 a.m. But I´m still fresh as a lettuce!

By the way, computer is restoring now.

"Windows can't start"
Should I go with the recommended Startup Repair?

[Salagubang]

Ok.

On another note, I like you to create a temporary bootable CD which you can use as an alternative (if you need internet) when the good computer is away.

Download ISO image: xpud-0.9.2.iso (64MB)
Burn it using a CD-R or CD-RW drive.

You can use this CD to boot the computer to an XPUD environment. It has its own Firefox and totally immune to the viruses on your machine. It might come handy.

Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps here

Hey, it finished with Startup Repair and restarted, the accounts were displayed but when I logged in the ordinal 874 returned.
